For the birds

While walking the new Promesa trail this weekend, my eye was attracted to fluttering atop one of the rest benches.

Someone had attached [to the bench] industrial-strength, double-sided sticky tape, to which two and one half birds had become more than stuck by wings and feet. Two of the creatures were in agony. The other had disappeared, leaving a wing behind.

What kind of person willfully inflicts this kind of pain and terror in creatures who cannot protect themselves?

A bluebird and a swallow were seriously damaged by someone who doesn’t have any common sense or respect for other beings. It’s time to understand the world around us and act kindly to all.
